The Department of Basic Education (DBE) reported that the difference between the national average maths and science results and those of the Dinaledi schools was nowhere near commensurate with the amount of money spent on the Grant. The DBE further reported that it has embarked on a four-pronged intervention strategy, focusing on curriculum, annual national assessments, workbooks and infrastructure. In addition, the DBE provides training for teachers and is working on a DVD to demonstrate practical science experiments.
